It is like a regular vacuum bag. It works great but not needed. I use them so I don't have to clean the inside just take the bag out when it's full.

The vacuum cleaner has a heavy duty bag that attaches at the bottom and clips at the top. No other bag is needed. The dust and dirt collect in the bag. When full, the bag is fairly easy to detach (I am not a mechanical person and I can do it without instructions, even). I just dump the dust into a garbage bag and reattach the bag. So, you can not use disposable bags inside the cloth bag.

Dust collection works ... Meaning it captures some sawdust .. But let's face it saw dust is very fine and unless you attach a vacuum system most of the fine dust will just blow out

I buy bags for mine they work much better than the filter for fine dust and debris. You can pretty much fill them with no loss of suction.

The bag's opening has a cardboard collar that slides down into a slot inside the chamber, then the lid and the hose end hold it in place. The bag is what you will need for fine dust like the coal ash. But you can also vacuum coarser materials with no bag using just the conical filter.

It does not work as a regular vacuum cleaner where the dirt goes in a bag or so.... it sucks the dirt pass it through the hose out... I filter the dirty water and the clean water goes in a separate container so it can be used again.

It has a Hepa filter and allergen bags. The bag is housed in a hard plastic cannister which can be removed and taken outside if necessary before replacing the bag. The bags are smaller to fit inside the cannister and need to be changed more often than others I have used in the past, which isnt really a problem but something to keep in mind as my indicator light doesn't change color to alert me. I am still pleased with the vacuum. As long as my bag is in good shape (not full) and I remember to switch back to floor mode after using tools I don't notice problems with dust. Hope this helps.

I only use it outdoors, it's impossible to keep the dust from blowing around, I just point out away from where I'm cleaning, one disadvantage of shop vacs, make sure your filters are clean and bag is kept before 3/4 full and at least you won't be blowing the dust you've just sucked up back into the floor. with a little ingenuity you could make a short hose and zip tie a little high flow filter element, maybe like a lawn mower filter, but it would have to show high volume and you'd have to clean it too. Does the floor attachment fit, turn it face up, Still need a filter.

It is bagless. The vacuum does use a filter that accumulates debris and must be shaken out per use, and occasionally washed; but it is not a bag, and does not need to be replaced unless damaged.

Not that I've noticed. I have used one other vacuum cleaner that is not a Eureka and it has a hard plastic enclosure for the bag.There is no noticeable difference. I don't think this vacuum adds any more dust in the air than is already there.

Regular vacuum. But the bags don't work. They leak. They also advertise them as waterproof, but if they can't hold their vacuum seal, I doubt they will keep water out either. A total waste of money.

Yes it hss a dust port. I haven't checked the size, but it appears to not be a common o.d.. bosch sells a dust bag to with it. I haven't purchased it though.

A "filter", I don't think these use that. If a bag is what you mean, those are easy to find on Amazon. Just search for metro vacuum bags for the model you have. I think a 5 pack is around $5-6, but I empty the bag and reuse it atleast more time.

It has a removable sock style filter. It has no bag, the guts where the lint and dust is stored is hollow, like a small handheld.

Just hold your regular vacuum hose up to the bag's opening and voila, it sucks the air out of the bag. It's very easy and kind of fun.

The one I received was the same as the photo image. I've been using it in the vacuum and it has worked well. ***Edited part***: Hello Christopher F. If I am understanding you correctly you wanted to purchase the dust filter and they sent you the HEPA Filter instead. What I can tell you is that I have a Hoover Mod. #UH70120 Vac. and I purchased the dust filter (not the HEPA Filter) that sits on the top of the dust tank from the seller: Vacuum Fix. I had no issues with them or in sending me the correct part. If you were sent the wrong filter contact that seller and have them make things right. If not call Amazon Customer Service and they will assist you in this matter they have been very helpful in the past. Also I learn this a while ago, when buying things try to buy items that are "fulfilled by Amazon" or sold by them directly. This way you have there complete backing on the item being sold. Fulfilled means that Amazon is acting as the middle man between you and the seller. This usually is listed next to by who the item is being sold by. Hope I helped and good luck. Show Less
